Objective of the workpaper

Take the income and expenses already classified by category and build the subtotals: operating profit, profit before financing and income taxes, profit before income taxes, profit for the period. For a measure published outside the financial statements, judge whether it is a management-defined performance measure, then reconcile it to the most directly comparable specified subtotal with the income tax effect and the effect on non-controlling interests of each item. The items, the measure and the tax rate of the simplified approach are case data.

    • Points examined: subtotals and performance measure

      ChecklistRequired

      • Operating profit = total of the income and expenses of the operating category
      • Profit before financing and income taxes = operating profit + income and expenses of the investing category
      • The investing category is not part of operating profit
      • After financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, profit for the period is obtained
      • A total or subtotal required by IFRS 18 or another standard (paragraph 118) is not a management-defined performance measure
      • Measure reconciled to the most directly comparable specified subtotal, with the income tax effect and the effect on non-controlling interests of each item

    Judgment

    IFRS 18IFRS 18

    • Nature of the published measure

      JudgmentRequired

      Not applicable

      Management-defined performance measure / Subtotal specified by a standard: not a management-defined measure / Not a subtotal of income and expenses / Not used in communications outside the financial statements / Not applicable

      Professional judgment: the measure and its items are choices of management; they are not imposed by the standard.

    • Rationale: subtotal of income and expenses, public use, management view of the performance of the entity as a whole, absence from the list of specified subtotals
